Father Stephen Eckert Coun- cil, No. 5289, Knight of Colum- bus of Seaforth and district, at the Community. Centre. Mr; McGugin, introduced by A. E. McConney, stressed four main points: Discrimination, 11- lustrations, Bad Manners and Geography. In the first instance he pointed.out that- the widest known discrimination is color, especially black, but there are also the white, yellow and red. In the. long run,' neither • side wins. One groupis no better or worse than the other. Humil- ity and tolerance are the key notes towards ending the prob- lem of discrimination. He point- ed out several instances or phas- es of discrimination including religion, politics, language, pre- ferred. areas. There is not enough positive thinking on our part. Would you ndt help a drowning person, no matter what color or creed, he asked? This was a typical ifli stration of brother- hood assistance to a fellow- man, J. Discrimination, he said, is likened to a two -face sword. There is always suspicion when you contact matters with per- sons when you are not versed on the matters to be discussed. ,`here's right ' and wrong on both sides of the fence -do we really mature? he asked. We should stand back and look at ourselves as others see us. • In closing, he illustrated the story of a young man whet as undecided as to what he would do in life. Life was good now, why couldn't it remain so? Dur- ing his sleep one night an Angel appeared and woke him. Turning to the right he saw the valley. of , hell --a luscious -green meadow. People were there with no elbows, There was food, but none were eat - Ing:' 'Turning to, the left, he saw .the valley of Heai!en = - a' similar luscious greatlley, , va, Here theme was food also, but in this pictufe everybody was feeding each other. And so we must be absolute inter -depend- ent. All must assist `in 1964- to feed all'people. You must have the faith and courage to prac- tice your faith, respect your • fel- lowman, not one day, one week, but 365 days of every year. The speaker was thanked by Gordon McGavin. John L., Malone, Grand Knight, was master of cere- mones, and welcomed the guests to Brotherhood Night, (Continued on Page 6) • Consider Hensall Addition The possible addition of two classrooms to the existing pub- lic school' at Hensall to accom- modate 55 pupils from three school sections of Tuckersmith, near Hensel!, was explored at a meeting in Hensall Friday.
